In the sea of life

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I. do not be afraid.” Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going. (John 6: 16-21)

Jesus often guides his disciples on paths that are new to them, totally different from anything they might be expecting. In such cases, we need to trust Jesus completely, remembering how much He loved us and what He did for us. In the sea of life, faith will help us to live life fearlessly, even before we fully understand it. This is so because we are certain that we have the most powerful ally of all, God Who allows nothing that we cannot handle.
